_________________________________________________As far as managing yourself it cost you time to do that.People can usually self manage up to about 20 units for apartments.Anything past that it starts getting out of control.10 units is manageable for most.It depends on the location and class of building also.The tenant base the more you go into rougher or low income areas the more problems.The tenants tend to be more uneducated,have more problems,and income is more volatile and turnover causes much more intense management.Some are really nice but it's almost like managing children in some cases as they have a hard time balancing budgets,understanding things,etc.I find buyers fall into mainly 2 categories.They usually are trying to grow as much cash as possible and manage themselves as this is their first few properties OR they are a seasoned buyer who wants tax depreciation and cash flow and owns many properties and always uses management.
